Medicaid??

Hi, I am in Louisiana.  I am in need of WLS desperately!!  I have an appointment with my primary doctor who will refer me for the surgery.  I am wondering how do I get Medicaid?  I know she will probably explain it to me next week but I am very curious.....  

Can any of you give me any sort of an idea how it will work?  

Thanks so much!!

U can apply for Medicaid online. dcfs.la.gov
